He once thought his mother had abandoned him, until the bloody truth came to light: she had been brutally killed in the mountains long ago.
At his most desperate, Teacher Cheng, a volunteer teacher, becomes a ray of light in his darkness.
His father causes trouble, his tuition money is stolen, and his beloved teacher leaves. He comes close to breaking down several times, but in the end, he grits his teeth and perseveres.
From a muddy mountain village to Fudan University in Shanghai, he studies hard for more than a decade, fulfilling a reunion that spans mountains and seas.
The teacher once gave him a glimmer of light, and the boy spends his life passing it on.
